We strongly believe in ensuring our clinic is equipped with the latest technology which allows us to accurately assess your current dental health and to diagnose any possible problems as efficiently and comfortably as possible. All the information gathered is then thoroughly examined and used to work out an optimal treatment plan, tailored to meet your clinical needs and aesthetic expectations. Here are some of the ways we utilise technology in our dental clinic to provide you with better care.
While we acknowledge dental treatment can be daunting and unpleasant at times, we invite you take your mind off the procedure and enjoy a favourite programme while we take care your dental needs. Televisions in our surgeries make passing the time and relaxing in the dental chair more enjoyable.
Our digital dental x-rays are very safe and ultra-low in radiation. The high-resolution images are available for immediate evaluation on our treatment centre monitor. A digital panoramic x-ray is an excellent diagnostic tool for showing areas of concern in teeth, bone structure and joints.
With a tiny handheld intra-oral camera, we can take high resolution photos and videos inside your mouth and bring them up on the treatment centre monitor for you to review. It allows us to provide a greater understanding of your dental condition when making choices regarding your oral health. Once the work is completed, our intra oral camera will show you how treatment has restored your tooth.
Electric handpieces are quieter and produce less vibrations and no aerosol droplets compared to their conventional air-driven counterparts. It allows for greater treatment accuracy, conservation of healthy tooth structure and much better infection control. Many patients report that this also make dental treatment more comfortable and much quicker.
Instead of using traditional stainless-steel files, rotary endodontics employs electrically-powered titanium instruments to perform treatment on root canals. This advanced technology provides more precision and reliability while being a quieter and faster procedure, creating a more comfortable experience for patients.
